Considering purchasing a Raspberry Pi? At around $35, it is quite an exceptional value for a device that can be used for a lot of general computing tasks. So what exactly CAN you do with the Raspberry Pi? Honestly, it really depends on how much work you are willing to put into it and how wide your imagination extends.

Raspberry Pi has quickly become a popular tinkering toy. A full PC motherboard kit for under $50? Yah, not surprising it's been successful. Those that have been thinking about the Pi but haven't picked one up, you may have the opportunity to get a significantly upgraded version.

With the Raspberry Pi, $35 has never bought you so much flexibility. It's a Linux file server, it's an Android entertainment device, it's a Linux media player- it's whatever you want it to be. The newest OS to make its way to the $35 mini-PC motherboard is Mozilla's Firefox OS. For those that don't know, Firefox OS is an HTML5 and “open web”-tech OS that is designed by Mozilla and will be targeted towards entry-level smartphones starting in 2013.

Despite its handicaps, there is support for a custom Raspbian Linux distro and Fedora Linux, and it's hard to complain when you are spending such low amounts of cash. If you really wanted to do more with the Pi though, you might finally have your chance; it seems that Android 4.0 is finally making its way to the Raspberry Pi through a custom ROM.
